Blank screen in console; java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

[Dan Stebbins]

I just get a blank, black screen when connecting to remote console and the timeout message "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect". Otherwise iLo works OK. I do have a firewall between my browser and the iLo. Also have version 1.4.1_04 plugin. Does remote console require more than port 443? TIA

It sounds like your firewall is interfering.

The remote console requires two ports:
The Web Server SSL port (default: 443)
The Remote Console port (default: 23)

Check the iLO Global Settings page for their assignments on your system. Then check the firewall to make sure it is blocking neither of these ports.

Thanks. Our problem turned out to be the java plugin version, but the port information is good to know.

I have the same problem, what was the correct Java version that solved your problem?

Yes, I'm getting the same error--but I'm using Remote Console Client for Java versino 2.0.0 (build: 10801) on iLO 100 with JRE 1.6.0_19, so I assume the requirements are different.
